American Express Reviews

Why is it that when you are up to your eyeballs in debt with credit cards that you are sure to receive a 'personal invitation' for an 'already approved' card? And why is it that when you stop off at a service station and you?re desperate for the loo you get accosted by someone trying to sell you car breakdown insurance or, yes, ...

What can I say about this card ... it's absolutely brilliant. Not only is it the coolest looking credit card around but has great benefits too. How to get one -------------- There are several ways to apply for a Blue American Express card. You can usually find an application form for the card in popular magazines. Quite ...

I hold several American Express cards and have very mixed views on the cards and the customer service behind them. USAGE ABROAD Beware that Amex charge their UK customers 2.73% on every retail transaction abroad. This is very high when you consider that Visa and MasterCard do not charge any commission (although some UK card ...

A great marketing campaign with a snappy piece of 'Gary Newman' soon got the young folk up off the sofa and applying for the new Amex blue - but that's where the fun stopped for me... This is not a card that has anything going for it -- It seems that they can't change their services to suit the UK market and trying to use the US ...

Everyone in life has ambitions, but for some strange reason, throughout my teenage years, all I ever wanted was to have a credit card. It seemed to be the ultimate goal – a status symbol and seemingly it gave you money you never had before. I think we’re all naïve at some point in our teenage years, but nonetheless it didn’t stop ...

The Centurion card promises unprecedented levels of service. However, I have been left very disappointed by it. Its customer service is terrible, the staff are rude, arrogant and patronising, and the number of retailers accepting Amex is still limited. I have been a customer with Amex since 1996 and was recently invited to pay £700 for ...

~ HOW WE MET ~ There I was minding my own business, strolling through the Trafford Centre without a care in the world - other than what I was going to get mummy dearest for her birthday and time was running out uh oh it’s tomorrow damn not long ’til the last post bugger looks like it’s going to be Interflora yet again. Zut ...

I must admit that I have several credit cards. As well as the usual Visa and Mastercard I am also the proud owner of an American Express card. Why do I say proud? I suppose that since I was younger I have always regarded American Express cards as being a little more exclusive than the average credit card. Perhaps with the introduction of gold ...

American Express have recently started an offer to members of British Airways' Executive Club. Since the latter is free to join, I thought it would be well worthwhile signing up to get the better deal on offer from Amex. There are several advantages - the most important one being that Amex count membership of BA as a bonus to your ...

I started my slippery slope with people (and I use that term loosely), with a green charge card. Well this was as much use a chocolate tea pot. Get this you go shopping and spend what ever you like (no limit), then when you realise you shave spent lots you get the bill sent to you and OH , pay it in full please.Ok I new the terms of the agreement ...

I would love to be able to give you a list of the wonderful benefits of American Express. The card with the impressive reputation, the wonderful blue decorative card which looks so cool as you pass it over the counter with a look that says hey I'm with American blue. Like it or not it definitely gives off a statement. It shouts that ...

The Amex Platinum Card is a nifty little number with no pre-set credit limit and numerous perks for the holder. For an annual fee of £225 you not only get free international travel insurance for you and your family (for travel paid for with the card) but also can have extra Platinum or Gold cards for yourself and family members over 18. ...

American Express Blue card is a very good deal, especially for those who pay off their monthly balance in full. The Interest rate is not particularly low but this does not concern me as I pay off every month. What you do get is a card which gives you 1% back on everything you spend, provided you make the minimum monthly payment on time. ...

I recently succumbed to the seductive charm of the Amex reps at Bluewater and signed up for an American Express Blue card. Three months on I'm glad I did! I've had a credit card for several years(since my student days) and my main gripe has been the poor customer care provided by some of the big names in the industry. There is ...

American Express largely known exclusively for its charge cards has branched out into the credit card market with the launch of its BLUE card. AMEX is definately aimed at the higher end of the credit card market (its credit checks and scoring system are very rigorous). It is both stylish and aims to offer a high level of customer service. For new ...

Most people who have tried on-line shopping would agree that when you get it right it is well worth the effort. However, getting it right can take some effort - searching, form-filling, worrying whether the site is a scam etc... but it is still easier than walking round the shops on a busy Saturday afternoon. The only drawbacks, for me, are (1)you ...

Amex's "guarantee" of money back if you suffer Internet fraud using their Blue Card has been much trumpeted (eg in the press) - but what is it worth, really? At first sight it sounds a Very Good Thing, but I think they've fallen at the starting post with this one, and I'd be interested to hear of others' experiences. ...
